On Thursday the US House of Representatives pushed forward a terrifying
new law – the “Nonprofit-Killer” – that would give incoming President
Trump sweeping powers to shut down nonprofits like us campaigning for
Palestine. He isn’t even here yet and it’s already…bad.
Can you rush a donation for our Palestine work (more details below) –
while we can still get it?

John,
In the darkness of night, Israel bombed a refugee camp right outside a
hospital in central Gaza. Families fleeing violence and seeking refuge
were instead met with deadly airstrikes. Several people were burnt alive,
trapped in tents engulfed in flames.
This is only possible because banks like BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole,
Deutsche Bank and Barclays are pouring billions into the weapons industry,
fuelling Israel’s war machine. So we’re going after ALL of them.
We have everything lined up, but to take on these big banks – and win –
our team of campaigners need your help. If enough of us chip in what we
can now, the team can jump into action, hiring the researchers we need to
comb through reams of financial data, the legal experts who’ll be crucial
in our fight to shut down Israel’s war machine, and more.
John, Israel can’t keep its war machine going without weapons.
THIS is how we can help put an end to all the violence and death. Can you
chip in?

Together, we just forced French insurance giant Axa to divest from Israeli
banks after non-stop campaigning! So we know we can do it again, toppling
each company until we take down the entire war machine.
From BNP Paribas, the largest European financier of weapons deals with
Israel, to Chevron for its shady energy deals that are fueling the
occupation, we’ve fine-tuned our plan to go after key companies helping
Israel’s war. We’re even going after Danish logistics company Maersk for
transporting hundreds of millions worth of weapons.
This is exactly what the Ekō community is made for – and with everyone
chipping in what they can, our brilliant team could unleash sophisticated
tactics on each of these corporate giants, including hard-hitting
research, legal analyses and possibly even legal cases, and public
pressure campaigns to put this front and center in the media.
But with Trump incoming, the US government is taking aim at this kind of
work. The law just passed the House of Representatives and is on its way
to the Senate. It would make way for Trump to shut down nonprofit status
for groups working to support Palestine.
It is utterly shameful – but they are doing it because pressure from our
community works. That’s what they’re afraid of.
We’re ready to 10x our divestment work and stop this violence, but we need
to act fast as the US government gets ready to crack down. Can you chip in
to take down Israel’s war machine?
